I live *inside* a block!
The area of south-east London where I live was laid out for residential use

Where I live, the numbers on each street start from the end nearest the City

Did you also see the news story about another 'Jean in Poole' in hospital
with nasty bruises after being attacked by two burglars in her home. She
